Last Bond Issue For High Point Utilities Set To Be Sold
High Point plans to offer the final 2 million dollar bonds from a 6.2 million utility expansion issue early next spring. The debt would rise to about 9.116 million but drop by 750 thousand as the current year's payments are made. Proceeds fund sewer and water system expansion including a new outfall line and plant upgrades, part of a program accelerated by annexation of 20 square miles. Lake Crowe urges delaying further issuance to protect credit ratings, suggesting a six month wait or later start in 1961.
